About

Hotel Best Aranea

Hotel Best Aranea sits on Consell De Cent in Barcelona's Eixample, a business district packed with shops. It's a roughly 25-minute walk to Mercado de La Boqueria, and only a few blocks from Sagrada Familia. The hotel is a compact, functional choice for travellers who want to be close to the sights without staying right on the tourist strip.

Rooms are straightforward and come with air conditioning and heating. Choose from single, double, twin or superior double configurations. The hotel also has a restaurant, a sun terrace, laundry services and a business corner, which makes it better equipped than the typical 3-star.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Great location for sightseeing — Within walking distance of Sagrada Familia and several metro stations, with the old town and Las Ramblas a bit further but reachable on foot.
  • Clean and comfortable rooms — Guests consistently mention neat, updated rooms with good beds and strong housekeeping.
  • Helpful, welcoming staff — Several reviews highlight responsive and friendly service that goes beyond the basics.
  • Solid breakfast at a fair price — The breakfast buffet is described as hearty with a good variety, and the coffee shop on site adds convenience.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be compact — Some guests found the standard doubles small, though fine for a short stay.
  • Not right on the main tourist strip — Las Ramblas is a 20-minute walk away, so some travellers will rely on the nearby metro.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is not offered, so guests driving into Barcelona will need to arrange a public garage.
  • Basic room amenities — Standard rooms lack extras like a kettle or minibar (only some have a bathtub).

“The hotel's position in the Old Town was fantastic. Rooms were very spacious with views. Breakfast was good, hot and tasty, with plenty of choice, and the food was reasonably priced.”

8.2Verified guest

“Clean and well-located, just a few blocks from Sagrada Familia. Everything I expected from a city hotel, with friendly staff. It's a bit of a walk to Las Ramblas, but metro stations are a couple of blocks away. The local cafes and shops are less touristy and cheaper than elsewhere.”
